Another device gaining Jelly Bean today on T-Mobile‘s network is the LG Optimus L9. There is no need to connect to your PC and attempt to use LG’s interesting update software. This update is rolling out via a traditional OTA only. You should get a notification when it reaches your device, but you can also prompt it yourself by going to Menu > Settings > About Device > System Update. You will want to make sure you have some time on a solid Wi-Fi connection to download the update file. You will also want to make sure your battery is charged up over 50% as well.

About The Author

Family, tech and gadgets keep me motivated throughout my days. Without one of them I would lose my mind. My biggest joys are helping people get the most from their devices, accessories and life. In a perfect world i would sit around and show people products and services to better their existence, until that pays the bills I will work through the ranks of sales at my local Authorized Retailer.

Check today! I checked all day yesterday, and when I woke up this morning, my phone was ready to update. Just make sure your phone has at least 50% battery or more(:

I think I figured it out. I tried forcing the OTA as others have mentioned by the clearing and stopping the Google Services Framework and then checking for the update (Google search “force android ota”). I did this numerous times mostly late night and early AM but it did not work. I tried doing other things such as changing settings to allow installation of unknown app sources, enabling USB debugging, removing the SIM and SD cards, restarting, etc. I finally got it to work this afternoon. I thought it was the USB debugging mode as that was the last change I made before it started working on mine but when I tried it on my wife’s phone, it did not work. I remembered what I did differently. I stopped and cleared the Google Services Framework and then went to the update page but I did NOT tap on the check for update button. As I got distracted, I left the phone on my couch while still on that update page which showed the last time it checked for updates was 12/31/1969. I then went back to the phone after a few minutes and pressed to power button to turn the screen back on and it was automatically downloading (I had left wifi and data on). I just did this to my wife’s phone (also an L9) and after about 20 minutes, it started downloaded and is updating as I am posting this.

steve

it worked thanks

Anoter way to update is to go to settings-apps-all-google services framework-clear data-force stop. Then go to settings-about phone should say :Android System Update Downloading: 346.5MB Via Wifi Only until May 31. Have a good connection more than 50% battery and Voila!

i just got mine – at 12pm today – it’s installing now

azim

yeah just got mine too. wanted to ask what does the update do anyway? What differences should I be looking for?

pagasus

just installed a few minutes ago. the only real noticeable difference at this point is that the little green android dude is gone and replaced with t-mobile graphics. sucks. i want my little green guy back!

otherwise, other than taking up space, cache, and running a bit warmer i’m not seeing anything different with this jelly bean update fiasco.

Carlos

What a bummer I also really liked the Android (little green dude) when phone started. I think the only good thing about the jellybean update the the Qslide App, whichh is multitasking app. Pretty nifty. Polaris Office 4 is useful but there are other better word editing apps. I did notice that with the update its using more Ram being used with all apps closed. Other that, I really would like to see with the jelly bean update; apps transfer to sd card. Does anyone know how I can do his; rooting can do the job, but to complicated for a newbie like me.

Battery usage went up a lot after the upgrade.

The predictive text is horrible after update!! Google runs slower. I wish I didn’t do it!

pierre
